    I fancy a job as a statistician. I feel I'm well qualified, as a bloke, as 105% of statisticians are male I do feel sorry for female applicants though, who only make up 10% of this number.

    I will need to look into that, I may have been given flawed data. What kind of statistician would I be if I couldn't dodge accountability?

    Cor. Had the Flu jab Thursday and my left arm felt a bit sore yesterday. Had the Pfizer Covid booster this morning and my right arm feels as though it's been belted with a baseball bat!

    Robert Durst. Is this the end for this dreadful man?

    I saw the TV documentary about him and his seeming callousness is astonishing. Nobody is safe around him!

    I wouldn't be surprised if it's a sham thought up by his lawyers to get him a cushy place.

    As a start, I'd suggest a survey of what proportion of Peloton exercise bikes are gathering dust in the UK. Bet that would be a surprising statistic (or maybe not).

    Well I've had a poke around here (checked the garage and loft too), and I can confidently state that 100% of the above mentioned pelotons are somewhere else

    I can't stand those adverts, so smug, and so intent on making me look like a right lazy slob (which I am). Though there is one well-proportioned bird doing lateral raises with dumbells, who could definitely get me to try harder
